1 small jalapeno diced
chopped fresh cilantro

3 eggs, 3 whites

3 pm

2.5k run

Fast paced. Felt better than any run in a long time.

then:

FGB tabata work up

8x 20:10

Wallball 14#
SDHP 55#
Push Press 55#
box jump
calorie row

reps:

Felt a little rusty. Wallball was a little painful but not too bad. SDHP I usually can make some money there but after yesterday finally getting to move heavy cleans I was fatigued. Push press, awful as usual. Box jumps.. my brain wouldnt let me do them the way I used to pre injury. The rebound made my knees buckle. By round 8 I finally had it. So after today they should be fine. Row... cool down pace and was still able to pull out 4o some cals. Over all not bad for recovery.

7am

3 rounds
12 KB snatch 35#
10 ball slam 15#
8 ring dips
2 rope ascents

Its not easy to get a good WOD in at 7 am on an empty stomach and with only about 45 total minutes including driving time to get it done. So Im trying to find time to come back in the afternoons for a second session.

4pm

3x5 power clean
3x3 power clean
3x1 power clean

then 2.5k run, 500 m row cool down

Held back from my 1RM and stuck at 155# because it wasnt as pretty as I wanted. dropped back down and moved back up to focus on tech and safety, not weight. Not bad for a cripple.


Saturday, August 21, 2010

5k run mod pace, power clean the house while watching Troy and Logan play. Thats totally a WOD. Happy Weekend everyone.

Friday, August 20, 2010


20-18-16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2 KB swing (35#)

This video is floating around the crossfit friends I keep up with via facebook. I love it and I wanted it on here. Metallica via strings and athletic motivation.

REST DAY

Im sore but I plan on making up todays run wod

Wednesday, August 18, 2010



3 rnds
10 headcutters (35#)
20 wallball bench piston press (15#)
5 CTB pull ups

15-12-9

Thruster (95#)
Strict pull up

14:22

Took the thrusters nice and easy, or as easy as heavy thrusters can be. Dont have much to say about my WOD but damn I saw some girls in my gym killing some heavy thrusters and even saw that Lynn RX'd and Watched Meri absolutely destroy this one. So fun. Everyone is making such big gains!


Tuesday, August 17, 2010


5 min row

10 power cleans (95#)
2 min Airdyne 15:15
3 rnds

10 headcutters (35#)
500m row (2 min split) ended up being around 2:12
3 rnds

300 sec tuck hang/ plank


Monday, August 16, 2010


7:00 am

3rnds

5 wall squat
10 squat
5 squat jump
10 split jump

for completion:

10-1 ladder
pull up
burpee
deadlift (135/95)
push up
30 double unders

7 am workouts are hard for me. I have way more energy at 4 and after a meal. But I have to get it done. I completed most of the pull ups and burpees strict due to the discomfort of any extra spinal extension. (5# deadlift felt more like 135 to me today but it was nice to get my hands on a barbell.

Nutrition was on today, paleo strict.

Catch up. Its been kind of hard to blog about the mundane recovery workouts I have been trying to get in. Almost as hard as actually doing them. I've had a list of movements that I can do without hurting myself and some days the programming is picking a few of the movements and throwing up a rep scheme.

Progress: I haven't needed anything stronger than IBU for 2 weeks. My pain has been more muscular fatigue than low back pain. I have been able to add in a few 5k runs and even got some light weight in my hands. If I can just keep the progression slow I think I will be good to go in a few more weeks.

Set backs: The nutrition has been worse than its been in at least a year for probably a month straight. There has been a lot of beer and a lot of snacking on non-paleo foods. Uncool. Energy level is low and I wake up with swollen feet and sometimes a stuffy nose. Anyone remember the crack symptoms?? I will get back on track for a while and then fall off. Im thinking when I can amp up my training it will help my nutrition motivation. For now I am going to try and get back into my paleo experimental cooking. That always helped. Sending meal pictures to paleo friends for accountability is also helpful.
